Rupee improves marginally on weakness in American unit against some currencies overseas

19 Dec 2016 Evaluate

Indian rupee strengthened marginally against the US dollar on Monday due to weakness in the American unit against some currencies overseas, because of the mounting tension between the US and China. News that China has agreed to return the US underwater drone it seized in the South China Sea failed to ease investor concerns about diplomatic tensions between the world's two biggest economies. However, increased demand for the US dollar from importers amid foreign fund outflows and lower opening of the domestic equity market, capped some gains. On the global front, the dollar edged lower in early Asian trading on Monday as some investors took profits after its rise last week to a 14-year peak against a currency basket, though it remained underpinned by expectations of more US interest hikes in the coming year.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 67.74, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 67.76 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.82 and 67.7175 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.77 and for Euro stood at 70.75 on December 16, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.38, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.23.The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
